Approximately one hour of direct sunshine on all four solar cells will provide energy for three or four hours of light.

Temporarily removing the top solar cell provides access to each on/off switch of the four solar cells. The Bud Lamp can be turned on and off by the switches to control energy consumption.

Assembly

The hexagon and pentagon faces of the Bud Lamp are fastened together with three-pin 3D-printed connectors. The short pin of the connector is inserted into a pentagon. The two longer pins of the connector are inserted into two hexagons.

Exterior use

The application of a UV protectant is recommended for exterior use. Hobie UV Protectant and Restorer by HobieCat is a recommended UV protectant.
